NEGATIVE ELECTRIC FLUID, | Prepared by N. W. Seat, M. D. Reasons why It should b used Instead of any other treat ment lu nil Febrile affections: 1 atw-Kconomy of Time.—As only one-seventh of the ordinary time is required to effect a cure. td.—Kconmny of Money. —As it costs but one dollar. iird.—Economy of Feeltng.—As it saves the suffering of a long sickness and the consequont treat ment; the annoyance of taking nauseating doses of medicine, their disagreeable operation, and the pain of long confinement; lint little of the fluid being necessary, ami that pleasant in its effects. 4tli.—Economy of Thought.—As when known, it will remove all dread and anxiety at present existing, respecting febrile affections; particularly while s dear friend is sick. Oth.—Economy of Health.—As the system is not reduced, and consequently rucked; nor is the fever subject to he followed by chronic disease. Oth.—Economy of Life.—As thecure is effected before and without reducing the patient, consequently removing, in a corresponding degree, all ilanger of a fatal termination. Other reasons might ho added, but these are deemed sufficient to satisfy all classes and persons in all condi tions of life. The above reasons are more particularly applicable to the immediate treatment on the ffrst attack, but will apply with equal fores to cases which have been subject ed to or have become reduced, corresponding of course to the nature of the case at the time it is flrst adminis tered. As this remedy gives so prompt, effectual and perma nent relief, in all ordinary cases, when used soon after the attack, persons can scarcely realize that they hud been really much sick, and very naturally conclude the y were not attacked with fever, and if so, “it was trifling —a little cold, which gave ularm —it could have been nothing of consequence—it would have |>assed off with out anything—that medicine hud noeffect.” The general impression on the subject of fever is such, that thoughts not unlike the [above follow tho cure of a common case us naturally as men think at all; and it is not until the individual has witnessed many cases that lie can fully realize the truth; and even then he may conclude them all very trifling cases, which would have readily yielded to any simple medicine, yet persons, though they have been thus successful in perhaps hundreds of cases, must expect that there will cases occur where there is Home organic or local cause so great as to require particular attention, or though successlul ill reducing the fever, it will again rise as the influence of the “Fluid” passes off, as the exciting cause may still exist. It is to guard against disappointment In suen cases that 1 have given and frequently refer to what I have called a “ synopsis.” Remarks on Fevers in tleneral’ On this subject I wish to he fully understood. Hy the term “fevers,” I comprehend all febrile affections to which the human frurno is subject, including small pox and other eruptive fevers; hut us they arise hy a great variety of causes, and in quite dissimilar constitutions uud habits, they of course differ considerably in their development and exhibit a variety of forms or types; yet all are distinguished by the same general character istics—that o! undue excitement in tho circulatory and nervous systems—inducing more or less unnatural fre quency in the pulse, sense of heat, dryness of the skin, debility, Ac. To show that 1 am not wholly alone in the opinion I advance, I quote from the celebrated Prof. T. Watson, of King's College, London, whoso work on tho “Princi ples and Practice of Physic” is a text hook in many of our medical colleges, and consequently standardaulhority. On page HIM, he says:—“Wo hear continuully, both in and out of the profession, different species of fever spo ken of. By the public, Typhus Fever, Brain Fever, Bilious Fever, Putrid Fever, Low Fever, Nervous Fever, Ac. And systematic writers are to the full os particular: Mucous Fever, Ataxic, Adynamic, Gastro-Enteric, and eo forth. Now, admitting that fever shows itself under various forms, I am persuaded that the effect upon the mind of all this siili-division, is had and hurtful. It encourages a disposition, alroady too prevalent, to pre scribe for a disease according to its name. There is no line of genuine distinction between continued fevers, that can he relied on. They run insensibly into each other, oven the most dissimilar of thorn, and are often traceable to the same cause.'’ The above is a great fact, oue worthy of remembrance and I would imprest on your minds the folly of hunting up or troubling yourself about a “ name;’’ if you have lever, treat it at once as hereafter directed, and you will be well instead of any distlnctcharacter being devel oped, t eo as to he properly named hy the most scientific. This assertion is no hypothesis based on closet specula tions or visions of mind, liut on experience at the bed side of the sick, iu hundreds, aye, thousands of cases (by myself and others) under a great variety of cir cumstances, seasons und climates. Bear this in mind, and treat at once without regard to name, and rest assured you will soon he freed from all dread of linger ing'and dangerous fevers. But as cases may have be come developed before tho “ Fluid” is given, cither by neglect, or under some other treatment, I will describe as briefly as possible the proper course to ho pursued iu all of tho most prominent fevers, though the “ Rules” and “ Synopsis” will he amply sufficient for all those accustomed to attondauce upon the sick. Hules important to be observed in all cases in using the . Negative Electric Fluid. Ist. It should bo given in three or four times its own quantity of water, and may he sweetened or not at pleasure. 2d. Patients must be free from all currents of air, (though there should always ho free ventilation in the sick room,) nor attempt to go about whllo under its in fluence. 3d. It must lie continued whenever the fever subsides, or is evidently passing oft ; to he resumed when it begins to rise again, should such he the case under any circumstances. 4th. When tho fever begins to subside, patients must be left perfectly quiet; free from all excitement; should uot lie questioned as to their wants or feelings, nor attempt to converse, read or tako any exercise whatever, till their own natural feelings, independent of all extra neous influences, induce them to rise or speak; nor should any conversation bo allowed in their hearing, in which they may feel moro or less interested, hut bo left quiet to all intouts and purposes. 6th. Fluids should ho allowed, while .giving it as plentifully, and as long as the patient desires und no longer; they may consist of cold water, mucilaginous drinks, lemonade, any simple decoctions, or teas, either cold or warm, as parties may prefer or patients desire. Oth. Should patients experience any oppression or faintness while in the lying posture, so as to occasion a restlessness after the fever has passed off, or enough to occasion them to speak of it, they should have a little wine, toddy, camphor, hartshorn, lemonade with a little spirit, ginger, or bouio other stimulant; or tho face and breast may he bathed in cold water; either of which will give immediate relief. TABLE OF DOSES. For children of one year or under, from 3 to 8 drops. “ over 1 and under 2 years, “ 6to 15 “ “ “ 2 “ 6 “ “ 12 to 30 “ “ “ 6 “ 10 “ “ 20 to 60 “ “ “ 8 “ 15 half to a teaspoonful. All persons over flfteeu considered as adults, for whom a teaspooufiil is a common dose. Old persons do not require as much as young, or those iu the prime of life; nor females, as a general rule, as much as males. There is uo particular care necessary iu giving it to children —those of ten years of age frequently having taken full doses; but for a little guide, 1 have given tho above table, with tho remark that, as a general rule, children require more than adults in proportion. By observing the above directions, the medicine will he found agrceulile iu all of its effects, the expectations of the most sanguine realised, and many perfectly astonished. My object in being thus particular is, that tho full lieueflt of the medicine may he obtained, and uot on account of any actual necessity of such strict ob servances. Bilious or Remittent Fever. Give a teaspouful of “Fluid” (see rulo Ist) once in two hours, till the fever is evidently passing oft'; this constitutes the whole treatment iu all simple cases of fever, with such observances as are set forth in the ” Rules.” But should there ho prominent local symp touis, or known local existing causes, they should lie attended to at once, and wliilo giving the “ Fluid.” Bee Synopsis. If in auy case the h nvels are particularly constipated or confined, give a cathartic (see auxiliaries) with the flrst portion ; they must bo opened or the fever may rise again. Where the fever is very high, pulse miming 110 or upwsrds, and the patient is not particularly susceptible to the Influence of medicine—not easily operated on hy medicine generally—a double dose, or two teaspoonsful may be given at flrst with advantage, and even repeated iu two hours—if it—the pulse—has not been softened, thus showing tin* medicine lias taken effect. Bathing the surface with water at an agreeable temperature, the saline wash, vinegar or spirits and water, in them difficult cases, will afford relief and aid the medicine much in taking effect. Congestive Fever. Give two tenspoonsliil and repeat every two hours till the pulse becomes more full and soft, then only a tea spoouful. to be discontinued as thefeier subside*. As the bowels are generally conlIlied, and it is frequently very difficult to get medicine to operate in this disease no time should be lost to get them open, giTe some actin’ cathartic with the “ Fluid” and repeat as may be neces sary till It operates: enemas (injections) may also bo used to advantage; also, mustard to the extremities, or friction (rubbing) with the hands or flannel, also, cold applications to tho head. Quinine may he added to the “ Fluid” If thought advisable. Bee Synopsis. Nervous Fever, Typhus, Ship and Putrid or Spotted Fever. As those fevers are ail of one character, differing mainly iu degree, being all of a low grade, the pulse small and wiry, with a general great depression, there is uo practical use in separating them—at least so far as my treatment Is concerned. In these low fevers, when fully developed, a little patience will be required; still comparatively little, as they frequently run weeks under tho common treatment, while with this but a few days will be necessary at longest to establish a permanent convalescence. The treatment should be commenced—which may immediately follow any other without detriment—with a teaspoonful of “ Fluid” every two hours, till the pnlse becomes fuller or larger in volume, then to be continued mce in six or eight hours till the fever entirely subside# I In had cases, from three to flve grains each of quinine l i and capsicum (Cayenue |ipper) or some tonic and stiuni j laut (see auxiliaries) should he added to each dose. Tho j bowels should be kept gently open, and small portions I of some fte/Mlic should he given occasionally, even though the bowels should ho very loose. The patient, should he sustained by nourishing and mucilageuous drinks—such us are in common use iu such cases.— Where the skill is very dry, sponging the suriiice as di rected in bilious fever, will he found advantageous. Tonics should be usod during convalescence, in all cases which have become reduced. Pneumonia, Typhoid Pneamonia, Lung or Winter Fever. Give a teaspooui'ul of the “ Fluid” every two hours, with u wine-glassful of a strong decoction of honeset; or half the quantity may be given every hour till relieved, then, at longer intervals, say once in six or eight hours. The boucset tea should he given warm till the violent symptoms are allayed, or the patient is relieved; then cold; fomentations, mustard plaster, or something of the kind, to be applied over tliu seat of pain; keep the bowels gently open. Variola, Varioloid, Rubeola and Scarla tina; or Small Pox, Varioloid, Measles, and Scarlet Fever. As all of these diseases are attended with fever, which iu fact is the most prominent symptom, the treatment differs hue little from that of common fevers. Remember never wait to learn the “name,” whether it is one or the other, or neither, as they all commence with fever, hut treat it at once; govern the fever and there will be uo trouble; there will bo but little eruption even iu small pox. Tills, to most minits, is anew idea, and doubtless will he regarded with ridicule by many. 1 nevertheless boldly make the assertion, that small pox, il treated as I direct, will be cut short ; attended with hut little erup tion; little or no pitting, and that there is no necessity of its running its ordinary course. On this I will stake uot only my reputation, bnt ail that 1 hold most dear; besides, on tills subject, I have good authority; that of Fros. Watson, previously quoted. Ho says, page 874: “ You may abate the force of the eruptive fever, and keep down, it is believed, the number of the pustules hy spline purges, Ac.” Here is the admission that it may he douo. 1 nuve not only proven it may be, blit has been done in numerous cases that occurred on board ship. See the account appended. Give a teuspoouful or more, according to the urgency of the case, with a dose of salts or castor oil; repeat the Fluid once in two hours if necessary, until the feversub sides—though one or two doses is generally sufficient; hut it should he given and repeated sufficiently to keep the fever under control. When the tlirout is affected, auy of the ordinary gargles may be used, and the surface bathed, as thought advisable. In one case, on the ship Duchess d’Orleans, the tongue und l'aucus were so much swollen that tliu patient could not swallow or speak, and lie was cured by dropping the Fluid on his tonguo, drop hy drop, till he could swallow, when it was given iu teaspoonful doses every hour, till all alarming symptoms disappeared. The swelling of the throat was reduced so as to enable him to take nour ishment iu about twelve hours by the Fluid alone.— Used to wet tho throat frequently, it is doubtless the best gargle in all such cases. Puerperal or Cliilflbed Fever. This heretofore painful, dangerous aud alarming malady to which the mother is liable, will yield to tho Negative Electric Fluid with such readiness, as to seem to be of little consequence. A single dose or two of a teaspoonful, almost invariably giving entire aud per manent relief; no alarm need he entertained, as the Fluid will arrest it in a short time. It should be re peated as long as the fever continues, as in other cases. The bowels of course should be attended to. In connection with this subject, 1 cannot refrain from making a few general remarks, which, if regarded hy the ladies, will save them much pain and suffering. It Is to inform them of the happy effect of the Fluid in many of their trials. In child-birth, its relaxing and soothing effect deprives the labor of much of its pains and difficulties; it must he tried to he appreciated.— Painful menstruation will he relieved at once by a com mon dose and retiring. Restlessness, nervous irritability, ora cold taken at a delicate time, is easily relieved hy its use; in short, it is one of the most convenient and efl'ectuui remedies for many of the ills of females, if not the most so of any medicine known. Its effect is uniform, relaxing the whole system, removing all excitability and iritability of the nervous as well as tho circulatory. It will not force sleep like opiates, hut it will sooth and quiet the system so that one can sleep naturally and healthy; hence its use in so many cases. Hynopsla. To avoid constant repetition, and condense the treat ment as much as possible, I give under this head general directions for all cases. As the Negative Electric Fluid will change tho condition called lever, or subdue and control it under all circumstances, without regard to the name it may he or ought to be called, it should be given wherever or whenever it exists; yet it cannot he ex . pected to control all organic or local causes, which, when such exist, must he removed in order to effect a permanent cure. When such indications occur in any case, they should he appropriate means, and these soliuld be given while giving the “Fluid,” and in connection with it, when occasion requires, as they will then moro readily act, producing more general effect, besides no unnecessary time will then be lost. As the‘,Fluid” alone will sub due the fever, I call all else auxiliary treatment. If the bowels are costivo, give a cathartic (see auxili aries) with the first dose, or soon after, and should it fail to operate in due timo, repeat the dose; if attended with diarrhcea, give something known to be good for that complaint, though if caused by irritability, the “ Fluid” will soon relievo that condition; if severe local pain or iiifiammation, apply some stimulating liniment, a mustard plaster, a blister, fomentations of hitter herbs, or, perhaps, cloths wet in cold water, to the part; if violent pain iu the head, apply cold water, ice water, if convenient, or some cooling application, and batho the feet in hot water; if the fever is very high, skin dry and hot, with great suffering, spongo or bathe the whole surfaco with water ut an airreeoi.lo “ tho saline wiwak,” Yiuegar anil water or spirits and water, either will afford great relief and aid tho medi cine iu taking effect, alter which there will be no trou ble ; if the patient has been reduced or is much prostra ted, give touics and Btiinulauts, particularly in low fevers, iu absence of fever or when indicated; also, during convalescence, when the patient has become re duced; if there is nausea and vomiting, that must he allayed before any medicine will remain on the stomach to do any good; for this purposo I generally give some gentle emetic to cleanse the stomach ; warm water, if given plentifully, will answer every purpose; when the stomach has settled, give the “ Fluid” aud a cathartic if necessary; in short, treat all the prominent symptoms as you would under any other circumstances, giving the “ Fluid” at the same timo as directed, and success will crown your efforts; indeed, you cannot realize it till you have seen, and then you will ho astonished at tho ease with which you can control all febrile excitement. Auxiliaries. Parties may feel at a loss to know what is meant hy cathartics, Ac., as physicians are usually particular about what is used. I have found no such necessity when using the Fluid, and to be fully understood hy all, I will name a tew of the different articles of medi cine I have referred to, viz : Cat hart ice.—Articles that purge or operate on the bowels, such as castor oil, salts, senna, any of the roots or harks, aud many pills, antibilious, Ac.; anything known to be good for such purposes. Hepatlea.— Anything known to act on the liver particularly, portal circulation ami secretions generally. Any of tho articles depended on hy the different schools for this purpose, will answer when used in connection with the “Fluid” or while the system is tinder its iu tliience. And ouo may choose calomel—another, blue mass—the third, podopliyllin—the fourth, mandrake root, and so on; each may take his choice and be suc cessful. Tunica.—Articles that give tone or strength, such as ijtiinine, various barks, routs amt hitter herbs. Bone set or thoronghwort is one of the best used in fevers. Astringents.— Such as check the action of the bowels. Uudanum and other preparations of opium are used; also, many mixtures, not properly astringents which have the effect. Stimulants.—Articles that raise or excite tho system. Capsicum (Cayenne popper) is one of the best; ginger, spirits, hartshorn, Ac., the essences are ail more or less stimulating. These are the only classes necessa ry in treating fevers, though many others are generally used, but th Negative Electric Fluid is a better “dia phoretic,’’ “anodyne,” “diuretic,” “relaxant” and “sedative” than known in the materia medico. 1 shall not tax the reader with a long list of proofs, dopending mainly on tho results of a trial, and will only refer to one instance of success, that on the Packctslilp Duchess D’Orleans. which cauuot bo classed among ordinary certificates: We, the undersigned, certify to the following, viz We took passage on the packetship Duchess d’Orleaus, Capt Hutton, then lying in the port of Havre, France, and bound for New York. She sailed on the 9th of Au gust, 1861, with over a hundred souls on hoard, mostly emigrants- A few days after leaving Havre, the small pox broke out among the emigrants. They were all treated hy the physician in charge. Dr. N. W. Seat, with anew remedy of his own, which he calls Negative’ Elec tric Fluid, with which he seemed to have entire control over the disease, arresting it in a few hours, and curing iu a very short time. During the voyage, which lasted thirty-nine days, there were about eighty cases of small pox, some fever, Ac., and not a single death. All were cured with unu sual promptness. From what we saw during said passage, we are fully conviuced that the medicine used hy Dr. Seat on the oc casion. possesses inestimable virtues. We never before heard or read of febrile affections being controlled with so much ease, promptness aud certainty, or so little trouble to the nurse. A crowded ship, a long passage, small pox and fever ou board, and not a death! The fact speaks for itself. Signed, E. P, Fabri, 84 Pearl street, New York. E. G. Fabri, “ “ J. A.

MIASMA. miIESK diseases are common to many localities of the J. United States; but wherever they prevail. North, South, East or West, they all equally spring from the same miasmal cause. The great variety of symptoms and forms of disease is owing principally to difference in age, sex, constitution uud habits of the sufferers; hut as the cause is the same, they will all equally yield to a remedy that is competent to overcome or remove that cause. By the laws of Nature, every principle lias its opposite, aud for every disease, or cause of disease, there is a re agent, or in other words a specific remedy. All Malaria, whether arising from Marshes, Stagnant water, decompo sition ol’ animal and vegetable matter, or even newly cleared lands, Is the same in character and effect; is a poi son floating in the atmosphere, causing disease to all who breathe it. In accordance with those unalterable laws governing the unerring affinity subsisting between op posites, there is iu tho preparation before us, offered to the public, Tile Natural Antidote to Malaria, which neutralizes the jioison whenever it comes in con tact with it, even in the open air, aud when taken inter nally completely purifies the system affected hy it of its baneful inlluence, and thus restores and preserves health. The remedy is believed to ho entirely new, aud un known to any hut the proprietor, who distinctly claims the following extraordinary results from its use : it will instantly check the ague in persons who have suffered for any length of time, from one day to twenty years, and by continuing its use, according to the direc tions, a radical cure will ho effected; the patient contin uing free from the complaint for ever; unless subsequent exposure to malaria should make its use again necessary. iu its operation upon the poison in the system, it will immediately relieve all the distressing symptoms of bil ious or ague diseases, and when the disease is cured, it will entirely prevent the accession of General Debility and Niglit Sweats, which so often follow the administration of other mede cines. Tho patient at once begins to reever appetite and strength, and continues to improve until restored to perfect health. By its use Fever and Ague may he banished from every family and class in the community; farmers, me chanics, and all laboring people may he using ibis arti cle us a Preventive, And pursue tlieir respective avocations in perfect safety from ague or bilious attacks during the sickly season, which is often to them the most valuable part of the year. Since the introduction of the CURE in every part of the United States, its success lias been so complete and unvarying as to have fully proved these assertions in favor of its extraordinary merit. When these declarations were made, at the date of its introduction, they seemed incredible to many, even of the most candid minds, because all the resources of science had been taxed iu vain to subdue ague or bilious diseases; and wliat was still worse for ague sufferers, all their remedies or treatment, whether scientific or empirical, have been limited to poisonous or destructive drugs, such as Arsenic, Quinine, Mercury, Salicine, Ac. The effects of these are sometimes worse than the disease they subdue, aud when such remedies fail, or give only temporary relief, their poisonous effects .ire superailded to the poor sufferer’s first complaint. On this account ague sufferers should be particularly careful about using any secret Fever and Ague remedies, notwithstanding the makers of them uniformly assert they may he taken with perfect safety, even when it is notoriously well known that their potency depends solely upon destructive poisons. Now, as a proof that the Remedy is not only valuable on account of its power to cure diseases, but that it is also Worthy of Public Confidence, Because of Us Singular and Entire llarmlessnesa, The following certificate from one of the most celebrated chemists m the United States has been obtained, and a copy of it is attached to every bottle : New York, June 11, 1855. “1 have made a chemical examination of Khodes’ Fever and Ague Cure, or Antidote to Malaria, and have tested it for Arsenic, Mercury, Quinine and Strychnine, hut have not found a particle of either in it, nor have I found any substance in its composition that would prove inju rious to tho constitution. “JAMES R. CHILTON, M. D., Chemist.” It is a stubborn fact, therefore, that this Remedy is destined not only to relieve tho human family from malarious diseases, hut to do uu equally good work hy preventing the taking of other medicines which do harm. The entire absence of any baneful ingredient makes this Remedy not more valuable as a Cure, than it is as a preventive. No class of disease is so easily managed as the one under consideration, if the medicine he taken in advance. This is owing to the diseases being produced hy one and the same cause, and therefore all, both residents and travelers, should protect themselves hy the timely use of this preventive, and not wait for the poison already lurking in their veins, to develop itself in a violent attack. Take the Cure as a preventive, and so destroy the poison before it does harm. Full directions and advice as to diet aud habits of life prepared by a distinguished Physician long resident in a Bilious climate now accompany each bottle. It will often be found necessary to tins meili oiiiouyu iinia cathartic or antibilious purgative. The very best thing for general use is a moderate dose of Castor Oil, the object of which is to cleanse the stomach and free the biliary passages. Remember that where this is necessary, or there is costiveness, it must he taken or the operation of the antidote will lio seriously ob structed. Only Caution. —lu certain specified cases, pour the contents of one or more bottles of the Cure into shallow vessels, (dining plates,) and placo them in sleeping rooms; for the vapor rising from the medicine, and also tho air wafted across, or circulated over the dregs of it, after the liquid is evaporated, w ill counteract aud destroy, to a degtee commensurate with its expo sure, the miasmata or poison contained in the apartment. This mode of exhibiting the Cure should likewise he resorted to when very young infants are exposed to malarious situations. The bottles in which this medicine is put up have the words, “Rhodes’ Fever and Ague Cure” blown in the glass, and on tlio outside wrapper is the name of the medicine, (the copyright of which is secured) and the signature of the proprietor. These precautions are taken to prevent counterfeits and imitations. The reliance for its success is entirely upon its actual MERITS, wherever introduced and used. These will be considered sufficient.

Rhodes—Having been entirely cured hy your remedy, I take pleasure in assuring you of the benefit it has been to me. I was first attacked by chills and fever on the Isthmu if Panama, several months since, and in spite of th - different remedies and treatment I adopted, my heal i jgrew worse until I commenced the use of your Fever and Ague Cure. — Since that time I have not had a single chill, and am now in the enjoyment of good health.

Plymouth, Richland Cos., Ohio, gept. 25, 1855. Mr. J. A. Rhodes,—Dear Sir—l cheerfully testify to tho value of your Antidote to Malaria. Oue young lady lu tl>o inmllj ofa clergyman hero has been taking an “AGUE BALSAM” for some months without any per manent benefit—a few days since she got a bottle of tlie Cure and lias not had a chill since. A young man also used the same Balsam some time without relief until he got a bottle of your Cure. So far it works like a charm. Yours truly, Rev. A. C. DUBOIS. Unsolicited Evidence from a Physician. MONTICELLO, lud., Aug. 27, 1855. J. A. Rhodes —Dear Sir—T have been in the practice of Medicine here lor about three years, and can con scientiously recommend your medicine, having used it myself and prescribed it in a number of instances with perfect success. Respectfully yours, ’ W. G. SPENCER. Louisville No. 11, C. R. R., Ga., Jan. 1, 1856. Your Ague Cure has overcome all prejudices hy its merits, and given satisfaction. A gentleman just called who has been fully cured by only one bottle, and de sired me to recommend it to everybody. I shall do all I can in its sale. W. A. IIAYLES. If any body desires further evidences, they will find it in every bottle of the CURE, which is being intro duced as rapidly os possible in’o every town and village in the United States, Canadas. Ac. The eminent chem ist, Dr. J. R. Chilton, of New York, certifies to its per fect innocence. It is therefore optional with all to have the Fever and Ague or not, just as they please. I can also say that a great many of my lurgest custo mers arc those who a year ago were reluctant even to take the Cure on commission. They thought its great claims and pretensions could not lie realised. Now they endorse them all, and it will he noticed that tho letter's of which I publish su -h immense quantities are always new and late dates—altogether they would more than filliiny newspaper, and prove the fact of a greater suc cess and sale than ever attended any other Ague Remedy. The Crowning Glory of tlie Cure is its HARMLESS CHARACTER, which Allow* Us Dee use as a preventive. Thus protected liy using a bottle or two during ttie warm and sickly sea sons, not a man woman or child in the United States would ever have a singlo attack of Fever and Ague, Bilious or Yellow Fever, or any form of disease arising from the atmospheric poison Malaria, to which the Cure is a perfect antidote. It is also unequalled for quick und permanent effects as a Restorative, giving new life and strength to all whose constitutions have been shattered or weakened by Ague or Bilious diseases, night sweats, languor and de bility or any kind of intemperance or dissipation.
